JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Head of Criminal Investigation at Metro Jaya Police, Commissioner Pol Iman Imanudin, suspects that one of the perpetrators in the acid attack on KontraS Deputy Coordinator Andrie Yunus was also hit by the splashed liquid.
He stated that in the CCTV footage, the perpetrator is seen pulling the motorbike used to the side of Jalan Diponegoro. The perpetrator, wearing a red T-shirt, appears to splash mineral water on his body.
“It is suspected that the liquid hit part of the perpetrator’s body, so both of them tried to clean it with mineral water, this is visible in the CCTV video,” said Iman during a press conference at Metro Jaya Police Headquarters on Wednesday (18/3/2026).

Iman added that, besides hitting the perpetrator’s body, the acid liquid also splashed onto the helmet he was wearing. That helmet was later found not far from the scene.
“After the incident, the perpetrator was already wearing the inner T-shirt because the outer one was suspected to have been hit by the liquid along with the helmet,” Iman explained.
